Jack Slattery named chief of Bucks County Detectives

Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan officially appointed Jack Slattery as Chief of the Bucks County Detectives. Slattery has served as the bureau’s acting Chief since January. 

Slattery replaces Chief Greg Beidler, who retired at the end of 2025. 

A veteran with more than 23 years of law enforcement experience within Bucks County, Slattery has served as the bureau’s Deputy Chief since 2019. His permanent appointment ensures a seamless transition for the investigative arm of the District Attorney’s Office. 

Chief Slattery’s promotion follows years of specialized preparation for executive leadership. In 2022, he graduated from Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command, an intensive 10-week program designed to provide upper-level instruction in law enforcement management, ethics, and strategic planning. 

“Jack Slattery is a consummate professional who has spent his entire career preparing for this level of responsibility,” said District Attorney Joe Khan. “His recent leadership as Interim Chief, combined with his elite training, makes him uniquely qualified to lead our detectives. He understands the complexities of modern policing and has the tactical and administrative expertise to keep Bucks County safe.”
